when you do about this, what can you do to stop them on state actors, such as al qaeda, hezbollah, hamas from getting a chemical biological weapon. there are a couple things. we came up with a list. one thing is it's interesting. there are a number of slots talking about how wmd is prescribed by islam and a member talking about how it is o.k. under islam. one of the things you can do is get allies in the middle east such as the saudis with various clerics to issue some prescribing on this. the other thing you can do is make it very clear that if a state like syria or iran is there the wmd ends up in the hands of terrorists, that state will be held to account, and you are not going to wait necessarily for perfect proof. the other thing you can do is improve the detection and the response to know in the biological reena a lot of what to do to improve the detection and response with regard to biological weapons is the same thing that you do to improve detention response to just naturally occur. there's actually -- talk about unfunded projects in the middle east. there's a project that still

hamas would make sense as they do without their on-air support. if the palestinians were united, it would easier for them and for us to make teas. we should continue in despite of this. it will relieve lebanon for being under pressure. so i believe if there is support, it should be expressed in two ways. to support the peace process, including the construction of the palestinian state as professor fayyad has mentioned and released the conflict between the two of us to let us know the problems. there is nothing concerning the arab future hanging upon the conflict in the palace and dance with us. but it has been used as an excuse. and the value of the conflict. we would like to get out of that. we would like to be an excuse to say that the conflict in the palestinians and israelis to major issue. it is not. it's a major issue between the two of us, but it shouldn't be beyond demonstrations to go ahead. the problem in the middle east as poverty, not politics. the real problem in the middle east is the social and economic situation. the unemployment.
